I know nothing about pond pumps and many of them look like they'd be too strong for the stock tank.

Any suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks! Kim]]>12Should I upgrade my filter?Thu, 27 Apr 2017 10:51:11 +0000http://goldfishkeepers.com/community/threads/should-i-upgrade-my-filter.12346/

In my 80g I've got 6 fancy goldfish (2 large, one of which I'm thinking about rehoming or selling - so, possibly down to 5), 3 dojo loaches (one might be going) and 5 platies (Were given to me, and they seem to be happy in 17-18C with the other fish). Having said that, I feel that my tank is slightly overstocked even though the fish don't reflect my estimation. I mean, they seem sufficiently happy with enough swimming room and hardly any fights over food or room. It doesn't look...

They sent me home with a 100 gallon Rubbermaid tub and it did the same thing. They swapped it out for another with the same results.

The manager offered to fill one at the shop and watch it for three days. It didn't leak!

I filled it up at home........ it leaked around the valve....

1. A very large wide dark blue swirly glass.
The colour appears to be in the glass... would it be ok?

2. A large glazed mug from tesco. All of it's glazed apart from the bottom rim circle... it's for hot drinks (all of them are like that with the circle on the base of them). It's...

There seems to be supporting evidence that magnets do indeed effect oxygen dissolved rates.

I also found a post that a guy made one himself, looks like a nice weekend project.

1. Will this stand, being plastic (and yes, it was verified that it had a fully stocked aquarium on it) hold a glass tank?
2. Will this stand be ok to have a rectangular tank placed on it if I put a 48" x 18" piece of plywood on the top? The front two corners would have no stand under them, just the plywood.

(sorry this is a double post but it didn't...

I really like the looks of the glass lids but I don't know what led's would be best. I'm shopping on amazon if that helps at all. On the other hand, its cheaper to get the fluorescent bulbs, save some money and get a new filter that I really need.]]>6Eheim Classic Canister Filter Missing Parts?Tue, 24 Jan 2017 23:49:22 +0000http://goldfishkeepers.com/community/threads/eheim-classic-canister-filter-missing-parts.12030/

My PenPlexx canister filter is becoming less-than-optimal for my liking, so I decided to invest in an Eheim Classic based on reviews and overall satisfaction. I received my filter yesterday and was so excited to set it up!

Until I looked through the parts.
